Rationalizing
C'mon folks. It's really not that complex. It's about winning. Coach Doherty didn't produce enough W's and the folks around UNC just don't adjust well to the NIT (that's Not In Tournament for the acronym challenged).
Face it. If he had produced winners, he'd still be there and none of this crap would have ever surfaced. Winning hides all sins, losing brings them to the surface. Hell, if Doherty had won the national tournament and said he fed his players milk-shakes made with UNC cow SH## from the Ag school, I bet half of the remaining coaches in this country would have lined up for the recipe with UNC filing for the patent.
Just didn't win enough - that's how I see it.
